FWIW, I think this is one of the greatest ARC/ARFs since sliced bread,,, IMHO
I balanced mine 2 3/4 inchs back from the leading edge at the root next to the fuse. I have had two, still have one,  , I use 3/4 oz tip weight, 63 foot .018 lines eyelet to eyelet, mine has an LA 46 but I use an apc 11.5 x 4 prop. I also added dihedral which is how you fix the wing low problem. FWIW the mod is easy and has been done on a completed model. I also bend the landing gear back so the wheels are under the leading edge, a bit more prop clearance that way and it lands better for me. I like this model so much that I built my Gee Bee model Y around the wing and moments . It also flew awesome!
Just one other note, Pat Johnston turned me on to this idea, I put a one inch  wide peice of monokote over the leading edge of the wing and stab, ironed it on, I used a red stripe on mine, Pat a  yellow one. This holds the monokote on the wing better so it doesnt want to come loose as easy. Looks kinda cool too.
Have fun with this its a great plane.
 a couple picts, one is my GB based on the ARC wing and the other is my ARC P-40 that I converted into a Q model (bubble canopy) bot fly great, well did fly great, the Q ate it after a dandelion got freindly with my lines, the Gee Bee got done in by me on outside squares, but its almost repaired. My ARF also got hurt on outside squares but is repaired and still flying, but it aint so purty so I wont take picts!

tHANKS FOR THE COMMENTS,
I am at work, tonight or this weekend, I will take a couple snaps of the wheel setup.

Roger,
I finally got around to finding some picts for you, I zoomed in on the one you saw, you can see the attachment sort of for the gear, the other pict is of the naked gear wire. I fabricated some attachments next to the rear spar for the aft wire to fit in. the gear is 3/32 wire on the mains and 1/16 on the aft rigging wires. seems pretty strong, I wrapped it with fine copper wire and soldered. Then I soldered small tabs of brass stock to the gear legs, drilled and tapped them for cap screws. Three per spat. The "pants are just 1/16 ply shaped and covered with monokote/ultracote trim. fairly light and plenty strong. The fuse was another story, it turned out to be not strong enough for that inverted slap it got coming out of the outside squares. ( um ok so you cant build them strong enough to withstand that abuse) It is almost repaired now.
If that shows what youw anted to see great, if not let me know and I will break out the digital and get some more for you

Incidentlly, I have my CAD plans of this one if you happen to be interested. I even did parts template patterns. They arent completely refined yet but certainly buildable

Roger,
wow aI am sorry it took this long to get somemore picts for you. Got her all repaired and have flown her several times since repairs. I attached some close ups of the gear, unfortunatly I dont have picts fo the interior of the wing. Basically what I did was build some light structure that bridged the ribs (parallel to the trailing edge) that supports a peice of 1/16 ply with a hole in it for the rear strut to go into. I put some small peices of 1.16 ply next to the strut leg to have something to keep it frommoving. then I hold it in place with a #4 screw and a #6 washer, not real elegant but it works fine. the spats are held onto the gear by 4x40 machine screws that go through some peices of 1/4 inch brass stock that I soldered to tghe gear legs then drilled and tapped. I have had NO problems with landings, I really think that the most important part of getting gear right is the position more than having "spring" in the gear. However that being said, this gear does flex some towards the tips, not front and back. First contest appearance for her is this weekend, I will let ya know how I fair, unless I chicken out and fly my P-40!

Rod,
Yes Pat , I and last I heard Randy Powell will be there. The only other from this side of the world, is Joe Just, Myself I plan on being there around noon or one on friday.
Look forward to seeing you guys there.

I just talked to Dave G. Looks like Dave & Angela will be there. Nils Norling says he's all packed up and ready to go, so he must be serious...or not. Looks like I'll be missing this one. The Visa bill came from my trip to BC and AB...$2k...ewwww.

Rod...did you mean Pete P. or Pete F.? Have fun, anyway. I'll be sad all weekend, especially if I get out and work on the darned fence... Steve
